CURRENT HOURS: Programs by reservation November-April
We’re excited to bring the Scripps National Spelling Bee to a significant portion of Iowa that had been unrepresented. If you’re in one of these counties, your school or homeschool can register to participate. The Regional Bee will be held Saturday, March 7, 2026, at Living History Farms. The regional winner will advance to the National Bee on May 28 and 29, 2026, in Washington, D.C.
Email us with questions.
